As a layout technician in the modern construction industry, you’re in one of three different boats:

  1. You’re handling layout using the manual process that’s “always worked in the past.”

  2. You’re handling layout digitally using a laser level and/or total station, but still working with manual (paper) plans and output.

  3. You’re handling layout using a robotic total station (RTS), working from a 3D model, and feeding your data back into the BIM workflow.

Of course, you may be attempting some sort of hybrid of those options, but — just like trying to stand on two different boats at the same time — it’s not easy, it’s not practical, and you’re bound to regret it eventually.
